Render Blocking Js
If you analyze the speed of your site via Google PageSpeed Insights, you may get a warning which is Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content as below.
This warning contains two part which are Optimize CSS Delivery and Remove render-blocking JavaScript.
– This feature fixes only Remove render-blocking JavaScript warning.
– This feature does NOT fix Optimize CSS Delivery warning.
How it works
You can find lots of tutorial which are talking about adding attributes which is “defer” or “async” or loading js after page load. This is so easy way but it does not fix the problems.
The all script tags are moved to the footer.
Conditional Comments
HTML comments may be in your html as below.
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://wpfc.ml/jquery.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://wpfc.ml/style.css" media="all"/>
<style>#something{display:none;}</style>
<![endif]-->
In this case, first we separate them and move only the script tags to the bottom.
<!-- First Css Sources -->
<!--[if lt IE 9]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.wpfastestcache.com/style.css" media="all"/><![endif]-->
<!--[if lt IE 9]><style>#something{display:none;}</style><![endif]-->
<!-- Second Js Sources -->
<!--[if lt IE 9]><script src="http://www.wpfastestcache.com/jquery.js"></script><![endif]-->
Exclude Js Sources
The Render Blocking JS faeture moves all js resources to footer and this can sometimes cause problems. In this case the problem can be solved by excluding some js resources.
First of all you need to be sure that the js source is not affected by any other js sources. Secondly, you need to add data-wpfc-render="false" attribute as below.
<script data-wpfc-render="false" src="http://www.your-site-url.com/sample.js"></script>
Note that the Render Blocking Js feature automatically excludes the js source that have the data-cfasync="false" attribute.
<script data-cfasync="false" src="http://www.your-site-url.com/sample.js"></script>
